canyon

With my sister and her kids here, we have been keeping pretty busy. Between jumping on the trampoline, running through the sprinklers, multiple ice cream cones and popsicles, and a trip to the park, it seems we barely have had time to stop and breathe. Writing it here makes it sound like its not much. But it seriously has been non-stop fun. The kids absolutely love the constant action and running until they drop. Mo said to me today, "I love having my cousins here."

Tonight we drove up the canyon to do one of my favorite things: roast hot dogs and make s'mores. It was so much fun to watch my niece and nephew do this for the first time. Plus it couldn't have been a more perfect night. And like Gilbert Blythe would say, "I don't think we will get many more nights like these."
